REU Site: Summer internships in tire engineering

这个REU网站计划轮胎工程是一个多学科的研究计划，本科生。该网站每年将培训10名本科生，为他们提供研究和实践培训，这将有助于他们未来的教育和职业机会。学生将学习轮胎工程的各个方面，并提供具有挑战性的个人研究项目，包括概念，理论和数值设计和分析，以及最先进的研究实验室中的动手组件。个人研究项目被整合到一个跨学科的，基于团队的环境中，研究结果将被用来证明一个假设。招募有才能的社区学院和大学本科生，特别是代表性不足的学生和妇女，在这一领域进行研究。通过这个REU网站，创建了一个多样化的计划，并激励学生继续攻读学士学位（社区学院学生）和研究生学位（大学生）。该项目得到了美国国家科学基金会工程教育和中心分部的全力支持。

This REU Site program for Tire Engineering is a multidisciplinary research program for undergraduate students. This site will train 10 undergraduate students each year by providing them with research as well as hands-on training that will help them with their future education as well as career opportunities. The students are subjected to all aspects of tire engineering and are provided with individual challenging research projects that include conceptual, theoretical and numerical design and analysis, and hands-on components in state-of-the-art research laboratories. The individual research projects are integrated into an interdisciplinary, team-based environment where research results will be used to prove a hypothesis. Talented community college and university undergraduate students, particularly underrepresented and women, are recruited to conduct research in this field. Through this REU Site, a diverse program is created and students are motivated to continue their studies towards a bachelor degree (for the community college students) and a graduate degree (for the university students). This project is fully supported by the National Science Foundation Division of Engineering Education and Centers.
